Hello to all! This is my first post and I'd like to get some info (please). I've a 2007 Subaru Forester that I plan on having a system installed and have some questions concerning the install. The system will consist of Tru amps, t03-250.2 (for sub) & t03-4.150 (for front tweets & mids). HU will be Clarion DRZ-9255. The speaks will be either Hybrid Audio Referernce or Seas Reference. Anyway, here are the questions & pardon me, I know only enough about installs to start a fire. 1-Are the DRZ-9255 crossovers active & do I need outbord crossovers? 2-Is there such a thing as a sub that can/will compliment the seas or Hybrid drivers? 3-I've only 2 inches of cle…

First off I know how to make a sub sound good but little about SPL. I built my son a Power Wheels vehicle to compete in MECA Kids. We have won two World Championships with it. Both on the drive-by section. It is an open dunbuggy type Power Wheels. It does not meter well inside because there is no dash. BUT because it is open we usually take drive-by. This year there are already two scores over what we did to win finals. Currently there is a 12" DD 3500 I believe it is with 1400 watts. With the success I have had with the Fi's in my car i want to switch over this year. What do ya'll need to know to start this process? later! Kirk

This is PG's low pass level controller. Does anybody know if it matters what side of the car I run this down? Should it be kept separate from the power wire like the RCA's or does it not matter? Should I even use it? Does it come in handy or not? Just curious because I need to get this in there soon if I'm gonna use it. Thanks, Jim

so i have a 90 240sx vert and what i wanted to build i just dont seem to have the money for which was 3 jl8w7's with 250 watts going to each of them enclosed behind the back seat facing it and the box to stop at the gas tank drop off in the trunk for my hu i was gonna use i thinks its pioneer that has it were it displays my cars gauges on it and then i wasnt to sure about my componets but i was thinking infinitys and going with a 6 componet setup each set up on a different amp does it sound possible?? what could i use to get around the same quality for less $$$??? i have a lack of play money now due to my little one that's 13 months old and thats also a reason that i wan…

Hi everyone! since my bax is built, it looks kinda naked. I don't want to do the standard carpeting and was thinking about trying something different. I thought about using a roll-on bed liner. Does anyone have experience with this stuff? Any pros or cons? Thanks

I'd like just that as well as a 60 to 0 sweep Feel free to post links!

The enclosure designers under tech are to difficult for me to build only becuase of the 45 degree angles i dont no how to cut. I already spent a little over a grand on a AQ2200d, and two bl 12's. And i dont want to spend anymore money. Can anyone on here design me a box?

So i know its nothing compared to most of you, but it's not the average system at my highschool. I did almost all of it but build the box myself This is what I got, i will post pictures tomorrow. Alpine Digital Media Receiver 1x Ascendant Audio 18" Chaos 1x JL Audio Slash 1000/1v2 1 4 Gauge Run Stinger Next comes the component speakers and such, but it sure does slam in my durango. The headunit i just put in today, and it really makes a difference with my door speakers, as well as the control i have over the sub now. Can't believe i ever chose to keep the stock head unit in. kevin

My setup is 4 Q15's tuned to 34hz (lowering it to 28hz soon..hopefully) on an Incriminator Audio 40.1 @ .5ohms in a Dodge Magnum.

My drive to work everyday is a little over an hr, and i listen to this album every morning I could listen to this everyday and die a happy man lol Which one is your current favorite CD?

im peeling off my old deadner ED v1 i know most of u frown upon this but it did provide some deadning but some pieces have kinda slid off not much but were they fell off jammed my lock to my door so hence the total removal... just wondering if u guys know any nice products to clean up my door n get rid of the residue oh and any input on new deadner would be great im looking in to bquiet and ramatt? not sure if i spelled it right thnx

I need some pointers on how to begin my build. I have a 86 full size short bed chevy truck and there is no way I can get the kind of sound Im looking for with such little space behind the seat. I want to put the subs in the bed with a blow thru into the cab. Im not looking to compete in SPL or anything like that just want the kind of bass Im use to hearing (just sold my magnum and miss it already). Im running an Alpine CDA 9886 head unit and Kicker 3.5, 6.5 in the cab will be adding components soon. The problem Im having is Ive never tried this before and dont know what type of enclosure to use or what subs for that matter. Ive always stuck to mainstream subs like JL, Kic…

im looking for some program where i can like look at songs and see what certain frequencies it's hitting, and boost them... like an audio editing program

So I recently ordered one 15 in icon. my question is what box should I get for it...such as thickness ..size..Hz...ect

Ok, so far ive gotten a answer from excessive amperage for my saturn alt. The largest bolt on they can make me will be 200 amps. Will this 200 amp alt be enough for me daily pounding my KX2500.1? I need to know soon so i can go ahead and make a choice. How is excessive amperages quality? Thanks in advance! Chris McDonald

OK this is what I have, 1-12" single 4ohm PG Xmax sub PWR 400 wavelength amp-600wrms @ 4ohms and clarion x-over pioneer deck box is 2.5cuft tuned to 30hz, with-in specs of what PG suggests. gains are set correct. This is what happens, I play a song like, Late night tip or some lil john, songs that I think hit pretty low, and SHIP does it get loud and low, but as soon as I put on anything that has hard bass, it doesn't get near as loud I mean nothing, nothing short of cranking it and adding bass boost will help, but this isn't what I want to have to do. This is in a 90 acura TRUNK not hatchback, sub facing back of trunk and the port is on the same side as the sub. my t…

how much would you guys pay for a billet alluminum subwoofer grill to fit your sub no matter the size or shape it is.... i can have them made but there a little pricey, so im trying to get an idea on who would pay to have them... im going have a few made plus if someone wanted something else on the grill i can make it for a little more, so it would be one of a kind.... remember this is billet aluminum not no cheap plastic so the price of the aluminum and the cost of useing a C-N-C machine is not cheap, but if i have a few orders i can get the price down... jamie

Does the xs batteries listed in the store carry the warranties advertised on other sites? I've seen the d series have a 3yt and the xs have 2yr. Just want to make sure their warranted before buying. Thanks!

Hi to all, I'm new to the forum and I need info about a new enclosure based on two REaudio sx12 subs, I've thinked about a 4cf tuned to 35hz box 'cause I listen to hipop/rap and r&b kind of music. Can the box be built with mdf light or mdf ultra light material?

I have a 2014 Honda accord sedan that is in dire need of a serious audio upgrade. The issue i'm having is I can't seem to figure out how to upgrade the electrical to support the 3-4.5k watts I plan on running. The Alt only puts out 110A but the shops in my local area say its a "ballsy move" to upgrade it because the engine is only a 4 cylinder 2.0. Would getting a VCM and a step down module be my next option to support the amount of watts I plan on running? any advice helps! TY

To start off everything that I'm getting together will be going in this.... So here is the latest shipment to arrive today.. What are they??.. well considering the price I paid I can't complain....$115 shipped ea. The obvious back shot.... My wife bought the subs, and these also for me for my Christmas gift, 2 sets of PG Rsd 6.5's Gotta love her. What amps am I gonna be installing well here is 2 of them. 1 RF PowerT3002 for the PG components and 1 Sundown SAZ-1500D. Soon to be a 2nd SAZ-1500D after I get it from Jacob very soon. 1 1500D per pair should be suffecient. And then how about a group picture Now next on the list is electrical upgrades so gotta get s…

The JL 8W1V2's are 4-ohm, and rated at 150w according to JL's site. The 125.2 is rated at ... 125 x 2 RMS @ 4 ohm. I think a 125.2 would be sufficient for a pair, but wanted to ask before buying incase someone knows of a reason why this is not a good idea. Thanks!

Trying to make a few decisions. First, I have a 2005 Ford 500 SEL Edition, I am trying to decide if I should have my subs facing the trunk, or facing the seating part of the car. Second, anyone out there with XCON's that has had them sealed and ported and could tell me which one they seemed to think is better. I've have them ported, but I am curious to hear what they sound like sealed. Third, If I decide to stay ported, I am going to redo the enclosure for them, but having a hard time deciding what tuning to use, any recommendation? My last enclosure, I can't tell you anything about, seeing as it was junk in my opinion, and the person who built it in my opinion was an idi…
